Key Rams players suspended for Week 1 game vs. Detroit Lions

The NFL announced on Friday that Los Angeles Rams tackle Alaric Jackson has been suspended for the first two games of the season. Jackson was projected to be the Rams’ starting left tackle this season, meaning Los Angeles will be missing one of their key players in their Week 1 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Jackson was suspended for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, but no other details were given regarding the suspension.

Jackson has been battling an injury in training camp. Repping as the starter at left tackle for most of training camp has been veteran offensive lineman Joe Noteboom. Last year, Noteboom started eight games for the Rams (split between LT, RG, and RT), and he’s started a total of 31 games in his six seasons with the franchise.

This is the latest development in a turbulent offseason for the Rams offensive line. This offseason, they signed former Lions guard Jonah Jackson, but the veteran offensive lineman has missed almost the entirety of training camp with a shoulder injury, although he’s expected to work back into the lineup next week. Additionally, right tackle Rob Havenstein has missed significant time in training camp, but he returned to the field earlier this week.

The Lions have had injury scares of their own, but luckily it appears most of their recent injuries — like Penei Sewell, Jahmyr Gibbs, Terrion Arnold, and Sam LaPorta, among others—are expected to be ready by Week 1.

The Lions and Rams are scheduled to open up the “Sunday Night Football” schedule, with their Week 1 matchup at 8:20 p.m. ET on September 8 at Ford Field.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.

The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.

The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.

Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.

“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”

The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.

“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
